Steve Arrant's post about the incredible sentence in a recent employment
announcement
(> I represent a leader in delivering solutions that optimize the
> manufacturing execution functions of the supply chain for the
> healthcare products industries (pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical,
> and medical devices).)
reminds me of our training department's motto. To wit:
"To facilitate the transfer of knowledge to our customers that
will empower them to more efficiently and effectively
deliver the services they provide, and to enable our partners and staff
in achieving their objectives."
My personal translation of this is "We can shovel it faster than you can
possibly pick it up" ...no, just kidding.
Has anyone got a polite way to suggest this embarrasment be rewritten?
(So far humorous asides to trainers...well, let's just say I *think* I'm
funny...haven't worked) They're inscribing it on coffee mugs, probably
training Furby's to say it...
Oh! The horror!
